Session Submission Summary

The Literate Lives of Adult Men: Writing Zines for Content Area Learning

Wed, December 3, 3:00 to 4:30pm, Marriott Marco Island Conference Center, Islands Ballroom Salon H - Lobby Level

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium focuses on the under-researched topic of how and why adult men create zines (self-publications) as an alternative literacy practice. Past research (e.g., Duncombe, 1997; Knobel & Lankshear, 2001) explored how youth create zines for personal agendas. These papers extend that research by focusing on how writing zines allows adult men to extend and share their knowledge of content subjects while creating community and enacting a broad range of masculinities and literacies.
